Cloud IoT Core – capturing and analyzing sensor data

Capturing and Analyzing sensor data using Google Cloud Components

Sensor Data from IoT Devices

This is the general flow for IoT Devices

From Sensor Devices --> Data streamed to IoT Core --> Request is Redirected from IoT Core to a Pub Sub Topic --> Data is PULLED from the Topic by a Data Flow Job -->  Data Flow also Transforms the Data --> Sends to BigQuery for Analysis

Summary

Cloud IoT Core is the first part of a larger solution for capturing and analyzing sensor data. Coupled with Pub Sub , Data Flow and BigQuery, this post outlines a completed end to end analytics solution for sensor data in GCP.
